Acoustic Music Series
One of the foremost listening rooms in the Los Angeles area isn't really a room at all, but a series - the Acoustic
Music Series, which presents concerts at Pasadena's Neighborhood and Throop churches. In addition, each year the
series sponsors several small house concerts at the Altadena home of one of the organizers. This year's fall lineup
includes Tom Russell & Andrew Hardin, Jim Messina, Dougie MacLean, Holly Near, and Silly Wizard alum Andy M.
Stewart with Gerry O'Beirne. Concerts earlier this year included Dave Alvin, John McCutcheon, Eddie from Ohio,
Cheryl Wheeler, the Karan Casey Band from Ireland, Cliff Eberhardt, and a songwriters in the round format with Tim
Grimm, David Francey and Terri Hendrix & Lloyd Maines.
Such warm, intimate concerts are the hallmark of the Acoustic Music Series. These are award winning, respected
folk, roots, bluegrass, Celtic and world artists whose songs demand to be felt as well as heard, and these concerts
provide a place for discerning music lovers.
